Inter remains the team to beat in Serie A
Soccer Betting Lines
08/27/2010 -
Milan, Italy (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Inter Milan has dominated Serie A over the
past four seasons, and after a summer transfer period that has been extremely
uneventful, the Nerazzurri will enter the season as favorites to retain their
title.
Inter returns almost the same team that captured the treble last season, minus
talented but troubled striker Mario Balotelli, while the biggest loss could be
felt on the bench, as former Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez replaces the
departed Jose Mourinho, who left for Real Madrid.
Benitez failed to capture the UEFA Super Cup on Friday in a 2-0 defeat to
Atletico Madrid, meaning that Inter's Serie A campaign will not get underway
until Monday, when the club travels to Bologna.
Roma has been the chief opposition to Inter over the past few years, finishing
as runners-up in both the league and Coppa Italia last season. But outside of
adding Brazilian striker Adriano over the summer, the club failed to make any
other significant additions, which leaves them a little short on talent when
compared to Inter.
Claudio Ranieri's side opens its season at home against promoted club Cesena,
while AC Milan will host Lecce.
Milan also failed to make any big moves over the summer, but they are hopeful
that they can reach a deal with Barcelona for striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic
before the close of the transfer window next week.
The former Inter sniper would be a welcome addition to a Milan attack that
sorely needs some freshening up.
Juventus endured a horrible campaign last season, finishing seventh in Serie
A. The club is now hoping a number of new signings, most notably Italy
international Fabio Quagliarella, can help to reverse its fortunes, and the
Old Lady will begin its season on the road at Bari.
Genoa visits Udinese on Saturday with both teams entertaining hopes of a spot
in Europe, while Napoli made one of the biggest moves of the summer with the
capture of Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani from Palermo.
Napoli finished last season in sixth place and the team will be looking to
push into the top four this season, which starts with an away match at
Fiorentina.
The Viola ended last season in a disappointing 11th place, and they will also
be without one of their top players, Stevan Jovetic, for the first half of the
season after he ruptured his cruciate ligament in early August.
In other action on the opening weekend of Serie A, Catania visits Chievo,
Palermo hosts Cagliari, Brescia hits the road to meet Parma and Sampdoria
tangles with Lazio.
